Tropic Tan Tanning Mousse is skincare infused self tan designed to provide you with salon-quality results that will leave you with a deep, natural looking tan. 

Powered by PENTAVITIN®, a breakthrough hydrator that locks in moisture deep into you skin, strengthens your skin’s natural barrier and leaves your skin smoother, plumper and glowing from within. Ensuring a gorgeous bronzed tan that glows on healthy, hydrated skin—while improving your skin’s texture and moisture over time.

The quick-drying and light fragrance formula makes the tanning process more enjoyable than ever.

PENTAVITIN® is a trademark of DSM  

 

Here are our key hydration ingredients in our Tropic Tan Mousse:

PENTAVITIN® (our star ingredient)
Clinical studies show it reduces dry skin signs by 20% in 4 weeks, strengthens your barrier (reducing water loss), and calms flakiness and irritation. Because it stays in place until skin naturally sheds, it supports daily resilience—no wonder beauty editors are calling it a “moisture magnet”. PENTAVITIN® doesn’t just hydrate—it fortifies your skin, keeps moisture locked in, and preps your canvas so Tropic Tan glows longer, smoother, stronger.

Hyaluronic Acid

A powerful moisture magnet that keeps skin hydrated, plump and bouncy, helping to deliver that fresh bronzed finish.

Aloe Vera
Not just soothing—it’s a natural skin conditioner. Aloe calms irritation, smooths rough patches, and creates a hydrated, balanced canvas so your tan goes on like silk and fades evenly.

Most tans dry your skin out. We're the opposite, your glow gets better the more you use us.

Tropic Tan Review

Tropic Tan is seriously one of the best self-tanners I’ve used! It goes on so evenly and feels super hydrating on the skin. The color develops into a natural, golden glow without streaks or patchiness, and it fades beautifully too. It’s a staple in my routine!

Definitely the No1 self tanning product on the market

I have used self tanning products for almost 20years including having a professional spray tanning service in the gym I previously owned so I know a good spray / self tanning product when I see one and a bad tanning product.. TROPIC TAN IS DEFINITELY tge best I’ve seen and used , it goes on and activates perfectly and evenly… it definitely makes a difference having the moisturisers in the product and it lasts longer and doesn’t leave patches when it does start reducing in colour .. it’s easy to control the colour I need to have a natural looking tan all over when I apply it .. I’m just so glad finally a product as fantastic as this is available .. it’s so easy to apply while keeping my skin moisturised at the same time it should be called the miracle no hassle tan❤️ .. I highly recommend trying this product I definitely will be using it for many years to come

Happy tanning
Carlee

Gorgeous, natural color

I just love the color results of this one the next day I wake up, so so gorgeous natural looking! Yes, not the craziest ultradark indeed, but a beautiful dark tan that would look natural on any skin undertone, so it’s universal and trust, this is hard to obtain. Plus, the application process, the dry time and the smell, color guide. The best yet? The ingredients! I just love everything about it, including the travel friendly size and its price. By the way, ☺️☺️ thank you for shipping to Europe!

Finally, a self-tan that has it all. Super soft and velvety to apply, has beautiful colour, and smells great.
The best part is that it actually dries on the skin you're not left feeling sticky.

Skin Nourishing Ingredients

PENTAVITIN®

PENTAVITIN® (otherwise known as Saccharide Isomerate) is a 100% naturally-derived plant extract that's bursting with hydrating properties, and gives improved skin protection against dehydration and sensitivity.

PENTAVITIN® is a fraction of the size of most other ingredients that tout mega hydration, which means it can penetrate deeper into the outer layers of skin and ensures that your skin stays replenished, preventing the tan from clinging to dry patches and creating an even, beautiful fade. It's not just about the initial radiance but the lasting impression your tan leaves behind.

PENTAVITIN® delivers deep hydration for up to 72hrs* even after it has been rinsed off and restores and balances your skins natural microbiome with each use.

PENTAVITIN® is a trademark of DSM.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is capable of attracting and retaining moisture, keeping the skin subtle and plump and prolonging your tan.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera provides deep hydration and is rich in anti-oxidants as well as having anti-inflammatory properties.By keeping the skin hydrated Aloe Vera can help enhance the results of your tan, ensuring a more even, longer lasting tan.

Coffee Seed Extract

Coffee seed extract boosts collagen production, increases circulation and firms and tightens the skin.

Acai Extract

Acai extract contains a range of vitamins and minerals that can help promote overall skin health, leaving you with a healthy radiant glow. Acai extract is packed with antioxidants and has anti- inflammatory benefits.

DHA

DHA is a type of carbohydrate and is derived from plant sources such as sugar canes as well as by fermenting glycerin. DHA is the active ingredient that interacts with the amino acids in our dead skin cells to darken their appearance- giving the impression of a natural sun tan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our self-tanning mousse provides a natural-looking tan that typically lasts up to 7 days, depending on your skin type and how well you maintain your tan. For the best results, we recommend moisturizing daily and avoiding exfoliating until you’re ready to reapply.

For a flawless application, start with clean, exfoliated skin. Use our Luxe Velvet Tanning Mitt to apply the mousse in long sweeping motions, starting from your legs and working your way up. Be sure to use sparingly on elbows, knees, and ankles. Allow the tan to develop for 6-8 hours before rinsing off.

Yes, our mousse is formulated with skin-loving ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and PENTAVITIN® to provide hydration while you tan. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, but we recommend doing a patch test 24 hours before full application to ensure compatibility.

Absolutely! Our self-tanning mousse is safe for use on the face. We suggest using a smaller amount and applying it with a makeup brush or your mitt for even coverage. Don’t forget to blend into your hairline and neck for a seamless look.

For the best results, exfoliate your skin 24 hours before applying the mousse to remove any dead skin cells. Avoid using any oil-based moisturisers right before tanning, as they can create a barrier and lead to uneven application. Instead, lightly moisturise dry areas like elbows and knees before applying the tan.
